As a DM reading through the Curse of Strahd once more, I noticed just how often I'm reading the phrase "Is no fun, is no Blinksky." Since CoS is a big sandbox, why not throw in the staple of a sandbox style video game: the epic scale collection side quest. The Blinksky toys would be the perfect collectable item for this. Just add some crazy NPC in one of the towns that claims to be "Blinksky's BIGGEST fan." They could pay the PC's top dollar for the toys by claiming something like "no one besides me understands Blinksky's art, therefor no one else deserves his art!" This NPC would really play up the obsessive crazy fan role. This could possibly culminate in the NPC having a massive amount of toys and when they get a certain amount of toys (anyone know how many there are in Barovia?) they get some kind of big reward like a magic item or something flavored to be related to Blinksky, like a prototype toy that can be used as a construct companion or something.
What do you guys think? Do you think this would be a fun side addition to CoS?
